Εβδομάδες μετά την έναρξη της πλήρους εισβολής της Ρωσίας στην Ουκρανία στις αρχές του 2022, μια «εκλεπτυσμένη» ληστεία εκτυλίχθηκε στο υπόγειο ενός μουσείου στη νοτιοανατολική πόλη της Μελιτόπολης. Ένας άνδρας ντυμένος με ρόμπα εργαστηρίου, πλαισιωμένος από Ρώσους στρατιώτες, φέρεται να άνοιξε χαρτοκιβώτια και να αφαίρεσε διακριτικά μερικά από τα καλύτερα δείγματα χρυσοχοΐας της αρχαιότητας που χρονολογούνται 2.300 χρόνια πίσω.

Three men accused of a string of arson attacks at properties and a vehicle linked to Sir Keir Starmer are due to stand trial in April next year. The prime minister’s £2 million former family home in north London was firebombed in the early hours of May 12. Damage was caused to the property’s entrance but no one was hurt. Fires were later reported on a car once owned by Starmer days earlier on the same street and at a former property in Islington, north London, on May 11.

A man in a cannabis-induced psychotic episode murdered a schoolboy with a samurai sword and tried to kill four others during a string of attacks in east London, a court was told. Marcus Monzo, 37, “killed and skinned his cat” before he allegedly started the 20-minute rampage shortly before 7am on April 30 last year. It began when he “deliberately drove” his grey Ford Transit van at speed into Donato Iwule as he walked to work at a local Co-op.

Weeks after Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in early 2022, a sophisticated heist unfolded in the basement of a museum in the southeastern city of Melitopol. A man cloaked in a lab coat, flanked by Russian soldiers, reportedly opened cardboard boxes and delicately removed some of the finest examples of goldsmithing antiquity dating back 2,300 years. Chief among them was a gold Scythian helmet, originating from the 4th century and believed to be worth millions of dollars.

Two people have died after allegedly overdosing on super-strong synthetic opioids following a night out, the first deaths of British clubbers that experts link to the drug. A 28-year-old man and a woman aged 20 are believed to have consumed nitazenes after visiting a nightclub in south London over the spring bank holiday weekend. Nitazenes, a newer class of synthetic opioid, can be hundreds of times stronger than heroin.
